Want to enjoy the 'dividend cake' of the Bitcoin ecosystem but don't want to get caught in the L2 red sea? Then you might not have paid attention to Era yet. This project focuses on being a 'modular Rollup infrastructure platform' rather than a specific L2 itself. In other words, while others are still debating whether a chain can succeed, Era has already begun to incubate L2 in bulk, serving as a launchpad for BTC modular Rollups.
Era is a Bitcoin ecosystem L2 stacking platform launched by Caldera, allowing developers to quickly deploy custom L2s that are fully compatible with EVM while connecting to Bitcoin mainnet assets. This 'L2 of L2' architectural approach is quite clever, similar to Arbitrum Orbit and OP Stack, but it is based on the Bitcoin ecosystem—a growth market that is still in its early blue ocean phase.
Several L2 projects have already been deployed on the platform, such as Merlin Chain and BounceBit, which have collaborated with or rely on its underlying infrastructure. Era provides a unified security module and bridging tools to lower the development threshold for BTC L2, enhancing efficiency.
Currently, the ecosystem construction of the Era platform is progressing, with TVL steadily increasing and interaction activities being frequent. Its token has not yet been launched, but several key modules, RPC interfaces, contract deployment panels, and more have already gone live, offering a high degree of openness. Participating in early testing, deploying contracts, or interacting through other L2s can yield potential benefits.
Era itself is not a speculative hot spot, but it has grasped the most critical direction of the Bitcoin ecosystem: infrastructure and scalability. At this stage, while everyone is running to build L2, projects that set up the toolchain and aggregate resources may have the opportunity to become the ultimate winners.
